ABU DHABI, February 18. /TASS/. The upgraded export option of T-90MS Proryv tank is causing major foreign interest as it has proved effectiveness in the special military operation in Ukraine, head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev told TASS at IDEX show.
"The armor confirms effectiveness in the operation and there is a major interest in T-90MS and its modifications. We display it with all systems that meet modern requirements," he said.
Foreign partners are considering modernization of their Russian-made tanks. "There is interest in our reactive armor and drone protection means," he added.
"Practically all partners want us to share the experience of combat engagement. The vehicles that have proved effectiveness trigger major interest of foreign customers. The issue of modernization is on the agenda of those customers, who already operate our armor. New antitank weapons appear and better protection against them is necessary," Shugayev said.
He also said the Ukraine operation raised the foreign interest in Russian electronic warfare (EW) weapons and confirmed drone effectiveness.
"The special military operation showed that drones are a powerful and effective weapon. Jamming means are necessary to protect objects and troops against them. All countries work to improve the quality and capabilities of electronic warfare. We are not behind them. The interest in our designs is high," he said.
